Absolutely wonderful. Great capture.

Alex_B · Dec 2, 2006

that is one very nice shot!

BTW, what exposure times do you use for planes in takeoff?

Re you a naval photographer or something?

JerBoyd · Dec 4, 2006

Thanks guys for the comments.

Here are some answers to your questions.

This was taken at f4.5 and 1/500 sec. at ISO 100.

No - I'm not a Naval photographer. Just someone with a passion that won’t go away and happened to be in the right place at the right time.

I'm glad you had a chance to check the photos out.

Fantastic shot.

I'm surprised at how sharp you got it...I wouldn't think that 1/500 would freeze a jet like that. I might have gone to ISO 400 and 1/2000...but it doesn't look like you needed to.

Stunning

I'm only very slightly ALOT jealous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

emogirl - Thanks for looking. I checked out your site. You have some done some nice work yourself.

Lostphophet - Love the Mig 29 shot you have. Can you post the link to the Harrier photos.

Big Mike - Glad you like the photos. 1/500 seemed to work just fine here. I'm glad it did.

Hoppy - appreciate the comments. "Slightly ALOT jealous"

benaccent - Thanks for looking at some of my other photos. I think Zenfolio does an outstanding job at displaying them.
